According to Leon County Sheriff's Office, the red-shirt sophomore was issued a civil citation and was not charged with a crime or arrested. If he completes a community service program, no misdemeanor charges will be filed.

Maj. Michael Wood said that after Winston was contacted by deputies at his apartment, he said he had forgotten to pay. Officials said Winston is expected to make restitution of $32.72 to Publix.

"He told deputies he did not pay for the items, he forgot," said Wood. "I'm not here to vindicate or vilify Jameis, the facts are not in dispute, he left without paying and I can't see inside his head to know what he was thinking."

The Florida State baseball team has indefinitely suspended Winston, who is a relief pitcher for the Seminoles.

The 20-year-old Winston was investigated last year when a fellow Florida State student reported that he raped her. But prosecutors said there wasn't enough evidence to charge him.

Winston led Florida State to the national championship last season as a freshman, starring in the undefeated Seminoles' 34-31 victory over Auburn in the championship game.
